Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life by Christie Tate

1.0

DNF’d with only two chapters left (maybe three)….I just couldn’t take it anymore! The incessant, whining! The putting on a pedestal of highly immoral, psychiatric practices! And as someone who struggles with their mental health and advocates for books that shine light on mental health, I was excited for this read. Especially after reading the author’s newest book, BFF, which I really liked. But honestly? There were a few things in BFF that left me scratching my head, but I thought maybe I was overthinking… Now that I read GROUP, I am convinced… This writer is a narcissistic egomaniac who can’t be grateful for what she has. “Boo hoo, I’m a successful self sustaining lawyer who was able to buy my own condo before 30. BuT I HaD tO dO iT aS a SPinSTER.” Seriously, get the fuck over yourself. And the JUDGMENT of other people she met who didn’t have it all figured out yet.
Wowwww. This book left a bad taste in my mouth and also made me rethink how I felt about BFF as well. This author needs some ACTUAL therapy and maybe a lobotomy, too.
